'Application'september 25,1947,- Serial N0577613-8 6 Claims.

My invention, "which relates to the art of :ice ".cream cones, has -for-its object -zto provide an improved construction of .ice cream cones ofthe kind used with paper jackets. Heretofore, as disclosed inthe 'U.S.--patent to James Balton No. 2,228,942, issued January--ll.4,.i1=9.41,

the cone was provided with :aicontinuous horizontal rinjg adjacent itsedge .(orra sectional-ring if desired) to provide a stop against whichthe lower edge of the jacket rested. The jacket,

used was provided with a flexible expansible lower end portion so as tobe capable of being pulled over the ring in applying the jacket to thecone. As the jackets were and. are made of paper bent to conical formwith overlapping, pasted together longitudinal edge portions it wasnecessary to leave the lower end of the jacket seam unpasted or free(Fig. 4 of the Balton patent) or slit (Fig. of the Balton patent) ormake the jacket oversize and knurl in the lower edge (Fig. 6 of theBalton patent), in order to obtain the expansibility of the lower end ofthe jacket necessary to pass over the stop ring. Sometimes, however, itwas found that the jackets would strip off prematurely due to theexpansibility of the lower end of the jacket above referred to.Therefore it is the object of my present invention to provide a conethat can be used with a jacket whose overlapped longitudinal edges maybe pasted all the way down to the lower end of the jacket thereby makingthat end substantially non-stretchable so that once placed on the conethe jacket will not become accidentally slipped off the cone.

To the attainment of the aforesaid objects and ends invention stillfurther resides in the novel details of construction, combination andarrangement of parts, all of which will be first fully described in thefollowing detailed description, and then be particularly pointed out inthe appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, inwhich:

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a cone embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is a similar view taken 90 from the view of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a view like Fig. 1 with a jacket in place.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross section on the line l-4 of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 of a modification.

In the drawing in which like numerals of reference indicate like partsin all the figures l represents the bowl of the cone, 2 the stem, 3

cally v-opposite :sides of .the :cone. 'may beofaanydength desiredaasonly .theinlower ends :perform any ;-mechanical wfunctions. vForthemesting ring,-z4x,the.=tip:ofthe cone, all of the usual construction.

.?In carrying iout-my invention .Iwprovide the cone, at diametricallyopposite "sides, :with 3 hooks .or hook -like 'protuberances :5constituting jacket stops. dlt'points '..more;orless,from the; hooks,

I provide pairs-of horizontal ribs 16 .on diametrigThese ribs ornamentalpurposes the ribs 6 are extended to an ornamental belt rib 3 (see Fig.1). The ribs 6 extend down below the plane containing the upper edges ofthe hooks 5.

The wrapper I may have its overlapped edges 8 pasted their full length,as at 9, or the pasting may be intermittent or spotty so long however asthe lower end I of the wrapper seam is pasted sufiiciently to renderthat end approximately non-stretchable and of a diameter snugly to fitthe cone above the hooks 5.

Since the ribs 6 of a pair are disposed 50 more or less apart and 65more or less from the hooks 5, and since the portions 6 of the ribsimmediately below the plane containing the tops of the hooks 6 arebevelled or tapered off the lower end 1 of the jacket 1 will slip overthe ribs and on reaching the tops of the hooks, the ribs will draw theend of the jacket into the position and shape shown in Fig. 4, so as toengage the cone adjacent the hooks 5 and stretch the jacket over thelower portions of the ribs 6 immediately above the hooks.

While I prefer to provide the jacket-deforming ribs 6 in pairs, I mayuse single ribs 6 disposed from the hooks 5 as shown in Fig. 5, in whichfigure those parts corresponding to like parts in Fig. 4, bear the samereference numeral plus the index letter m.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, it is thought that the construction, operationand advantages of the invention will readily appear to those skilled inthe art.

What I claim is:

1. An ice cream cone having, adjacent its lower end, diametricallyopposite jacket stops, and having jacket deforming longitudinallydisposed ribs located at opposite sides of the cone and spacedcircumferentially about the cone a substantial distance from said stops,said ribs extending somewhat below a transverse plane containing thetops of the stops.

2. An ice cream cone having, adjacent its lower end, diametricallyopposite jacket stops, and.

having jacket deforming longitudinally disposed ribs located at oppositesides of the cone and spaced circumferentially about the cone asubstantial distance from said stops, said ribs extending somewhat belowa transverse plane containing the tops of the stops, in combination witha jacket for snugly fitting the cone above the stops, said jacketcomprising a truncated body whose smaller end is substantiallynon-expansible radially by virtue of all of which as the jacket is drawnover the stem of the cone, as the lower end of the jacket passes overthe stops, the ribs will deform the jacket to draw its lower edge overthe tops of the stops against the cone.

3. An ice cream cone having near its lower end diametrically oppositelydisposed jacket stops and jacket deforming longitudinal ribsintermediate the stops, the lower ends of said jacket deforming ribsterminating below a plane that contains the tops of the stops.

4. An ice cream cone having near its lower end diametrically oppositelydisposed jacket stops and jacket deforming longitudinal ribsintermediate the stops, the lower ends of said jacket deforming ribsterminating below a plane that contains the tops of the stops, the lowerends of the ribs being tapered below said plane.

5. An ice cream cone having near its lower end diametrically oppositelydisposed jacket stops and jacket deforming longitudinal ribsintermediate the stops, the lower ends of said jacket deforming ribsterminating below a plane that contains the tops of the stops, incombination with a jacket of a size snugly to fit the cone, the lowerend of said jacket being non-stretchable and of a diameter to fit thecone immediately above the stops.

6. An ice cream cone having near its lower end diametrically oppositelydisposed jacket stops and jacket deforming longitudinal ribsintermediate the stops, the lower ends of said jacket deforming ribsterminating below a plane that contains the tops of the stops, the lowerends of the ribs being tapered below said plane, in combination with ajacket of a size snugly to fit the cone, the lower end of said jacketbeing nonstretchable and of a diameter to fit the cone immediately abovethe stops.
